or landslide Tsunamis pose a danger to every community across Canada’s three coastlines. A tsunami is a series of large, persistent waves caused by the sudden displacement of a body of water.

Ocean tsunamis are caused by sudden motions, which displace a large amount of water. This is typically an earthquake, but it could also be a volcanic eruption or underwater landslide. A huge ...

For Cronmiller, the most unique element of the landslide was that it caused what he referred to as a "tsunami." "It broke through the ice of the Takhini River and created a large displacement ...
